Probabilistics Design Optimization

STI Technologies is a national leader in providing probabilistic design capabilities. STI's probabilistics experience includes:

• Probabilistic/Risk-Based Component Design
• Probabilistic FEA for Design Risk and Sensitivity Evaluation
• Probabilistic/Fuzzy logic Health Management System
• Probabilistic/Fuzzy logic Fault Diagnosis Using Advanced Stochastic Classifiers
• Probabilistic Condition Assessment and Remaining Life Prediction Under Random Operational Environments
• Risk-based Life Assessment/Extension, including Optimum Maintenance Strategy (Minimum Cost)

This expertise is emphasized by a 20 year, successful working relationship with the U.S. Air Force. STI has developed probabilistics-related software, performed extensive consulting and organized and conducted specialized workshops for the power generation, nuclear and aerospace industries.
